I'm sick of it, man. I'm sick of rich and powerful getting away from their crimes. I'm sick of seeing marginalized and downtrodden groups getting torn apart, murdered, and butchered due to sociopaths who delight in cruelty And I'm sick of my life being depressing and shitty knowing that I'll...

"This is hard. I guess I'll give up. At least I still have my moral superiority, since putting in some effort and believing the right things absolves me of my failure to achieve the group's desired outcomes. The apocalypse is surely coming because my beliefs aren't winning".

The puritans never left, they just changed religions.

At least some people in that thread offer hope, which is encouraging to see:

Each and every one of us can make a difference in this world. It may seem like evil is too powerful but we can all collectively push for a better world

Yeah it's just an odd reaction (which is par for the course among those social weirdos over there).

I mean I agree people should buy other's alcoholic drinks without asking--well, getting the first round is fine if everyone is there to have at least one drink. You don't know other's limits, could put them over the edge if they're driving (were just having one at a happy hour or whatever) and felt pressured to drink it, can set someone back who's been trying to moderate drinking etc.

But it's not something to get upset about and make a damn thread about how horrible it is. Just say sorry, no thanks and give it to someone else in the group who's a heavier drinker.

It sounds like the OP is just someone that's over (or was never much into) drinking and they're hanging out with a group of heavier drinkers. That's on them to cope or just find a new peer group. My wife, myself and our regular friends are pretty heavy drinkers (trying to cut back some) and we definitely had some friends drop out of the circles as we got older and they had kids (we're not having any, nor are most of our current social circle) and were just not into drinking and being out a bunch any more. That's just natural, people's lives go in different directions and some friends are going to become acquaintances or drop off entirely as lives diverge.

It's an easy change to make for that OP if he's unhappy with his current social group. But as plane says above, a lot of people over there are just losers who'd rather whine about their lives than make any changes, even simple ones like this, to be happier.

Moderator note: I am not actually endorsing the above views, I am just referencing a poll conducted on WW2 Americans at the time.

Keep in mind, Resetera loves to call everyone Nazis while idolizing WW2 Allied soldiers, but they themselves are either ignorant or delusional if they do think the same people who actually fought Germany in WW2 were also extreme progressives like they think they are.

Also, how would Resetera reconcile playing WW2 games? Wouldn't this make them "White Supremacist simulators" if you take the above poll into account?

Can we call out this garbage behavior? When I go out I usually have a rough idea of how much or how little I intend to drink. Sometimes that's several beers, sometimes one or two, sometimes nothing. On top of that, I am acutely aware of the aftereffects rum & cokes can have on me. Even if I...

Cow Mengde is Asian. He's that Asian guy who believes everything that happens to him that is bad is just becuse he's Asian in America (but from Hong Kong). He's particularly super salty that nobody will fuck him, not white women becuse they are racist, not Asian women becuse they only want to fuck white guys etc. That an Asian woman won that board game burned him fucking hard!

Now here's the thing, a couple of years ago he went and worked in China and still could not get laid, where the Asian thing does not put you at a disadvantage but an advantage becuse he Asian American.

Yay, thank you :D That sounds amazing. I'm not sure if we can find lobster in Chinese restaurants here. I might see if I can order it when I go to the US. Edit: try this 中式牛扒 You're welcome! I think it translates to Chinese colored beef if it that helps with...

This thread is an interesting twist from some of you compared to the Jeong/Wu thread. https://www.resetera.com/threads/shenzhen-tech-girl-naomi-wu-my-experience-with-sarah-jeong-jason-koebler-and-vice-magazine.60597/#post-11305643

If you want to post-dive, just look at some of the topics he makes knowing this is what is behind them.

I'm assuming he is a male feminist? That is his first fuck-up with trying to get with Asian(-American) women, let alone women actually from Asian. Asia hates that shit.

I also always find it funny that liberals hate miscegenation as much as white nationalists when it involves white guys dating non-white women. Any other combo is fair (e.g. gay white guys pursuing only black guys) but awful bigots like me are "fetishizing race" because we like features characteristic of races.

What marginalized groups in the Western world are getting torn apart, murdered, and butchered? I dunno, maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is talking about places like the Chinese Uighur camps or the Christian killings all over Africa.

Yeah I hate when people act like humanity never had it worse when it's currently the best time to be alive by far regardless of who you are, unless you're in a communist or islamic country. Which is ironic and awesome.

Regarding that statistic, where did they get that poll result from? Footnote 19 or whatever. Who did the poll, where, and what exactly did they ask? We're a long way removed from 1943, but that level of intolerance is hard for me to wrap my head around. If accurate, that takes things from "we don't think black people are equal to white people" to "we would do great harm to ourselves to prevent racial equality." That really paints the resistance of the civil rights movement in a sad new light.

Ironic, considering the ideals and freedoms those WWII soldiers fought for are a large part of why their racist laws were overturned.

The 1943Detroit race riot took place in Detroit, Michigan, of the United States, from the evening of June 20 through the early morning of June 22. The race riot was ultimately suppressed by the use of 6,000 federal troops. It occurred in a period of dramatic population increase and social tensions associated with the military buildup of World War II, as Detroit's automotive industry was converted to the war effort. Existing social tensions and housing shortages were exacerbated by the arrival of nearly 400,000 migrants, both African-American and White Southerners, from the Southeastern United States between 1941 and 1943. The new migrants competed for space and jobs, as well as against white European immigrants and their descendants.

The Detroit riot was one of three that summer; it followed one in Beaumont, Texas, earlier that month, in which white shipyard workers attacked blacks after a rumor that a white woman had been raped; another riot preceded in Harlem, New York, where blacks attacked white-owned property in their neighborhood after rumors that a black soldier had been killed by a white policeman. In this wartime period, there were also racial riots in Los Angeles, California, and Mobile, Alabama.

The rioting in Detroit began among youths at Belle Isle Park on June 20, 1943; the unrest moved into the city proper and was exacerbated by false rumors of racial attacks in both the black and white communities. It continued until June 22. It was suppressed after 6,000 federal troops were ordered into the city to restore peace. A total of 34 people were killed, 25 of them black and most at the hands of white police or National Guardsmen; 433 were wounded, 75 percent of them black and property valued at $2 million ($27.5 million in 2015 US dollars) was destroyed; most of it happened in the black area of Paradise Valley, the poorest neighborhood of the city.[1]

Sure, but 90 percent would rather LOSE THE WAR? As I said, that's just another level of intolerance that I didn't expect to be THAT strong. And 20 years later, people would be fighting for civil rights. That's a very short time for hate that strong. No wonder the civil rights movement was so hard fought. That just gives me even more appreciation for MLK and everyone else who fought for equality.

After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, only the white athletes were invited to see and meet Roosevelt. No such invitation was made to the African American athletes such as Jesse Owens, who had won four gold medals. A widely believed myth about the 1936 games was that Hitler had snubbed Owens, something that never happened. Owens said that "Hitler didn't snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram".[48] However, Hitler had left after Owens's first gold medal win and did not meet him. Subsequently, he did not meet with any of the gold medalists. Owens lamented his treatment by Roosevelt, saying that he "wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President".[49]

Obviously karma for making this thread. To fix your posture you need to have strong glutes. I've been using a tennis ball on top of a foam roller and I have been pressing into my ass as hard as I can, for literally about 2-3 hours a day, for the past few WEEKS. No, this is not an exaggeration...
